Features of Knowledge Representations for Data Presented Graphically in Populations with Diverse Mathematical Experience.

McKnight, Curtis C.; Fisher, Mark A. – 1990

Knowledge representations and mental models from graphically presented information were investigated for 98 college students with different levels of mathematics experience. The subjects were drawn from a remedial algebra course (n=35), a second semester calculus course (n=35), and a calculus-based statistics course (n=28); they were all exposed…

It also provides the basis for optimizing graphical material design to insure best retention…
